Web video of workers starts Dept. of Labor and Industries probe
A YouTube video is playing a key role in state and federal cases against the concrete contractor of a $1 billion upscale urban village that's going up along Tacoma's Commencement Bay.
Seattle Times staff reporter
A YouTube video is playing a key role in state and federal cases against the concrete contractor of a $1 billion upscale urban village going up along Tacoma's Commencement Bay.
On the video, three Spanish-speaking workers — their faces concealed — tell of being given ID badges that belonged to other Latino workers who had been trained on how to protect themselves while working in potentially contaminated soils of the sprawling Point Ruston construction site.
The three on the video say they had not received the training but were told by their supervisors at Rain City Contractors to use the badges anyway.
State and federal labor officials say it is the first time an Internet video has triggered and played such a key role in local investigations into work-site complaints.
Rain City, the project's Lakewood-area concrete contractor, has been fined $35,000 by the state for failing to notify workers of the potential exposure to arsenic. The company is also scheduled to answer allegations by a federal labor board that it retaliated against the workers in the video by firing at least one of them.
Perhaps the boldest waterfront development of its kind in this region, Point Ruston is a mixed-use neighborhood of housing, shops and offices — including a four-star hotel — planned for 97 acres of the former Asarco smelter property, a Superfund site. The new neighborhood will be within walking distance of Point Defiance Park.
After eight decades of smelting high-arsenic copper ore at the site, Asarco shuttered its operation in the mid-1980s and paid more than $100 million to clean up widespread contamination.
Whatever additional cleanup is needed is being handled by the project's developer, though the Environmental Protection Agency continues to supervise the site to ensure it is safe.
The nine-minute YouTube video was made by the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters, which has attempted to unionize Rain City's workers.
Mike Cohen, owner of MC Construction Consultants, the project's developer, returned calls that had been placed to Rain City. He said the carpenters union, in a meeting years ago, promised him that Rain City "would be spanked."
"We put this in the dirty-tricks category," he said of the video. "It boils down to the carpenters union having targeted Rain City and trying to unionize them."
Jimmy Haun, a union representative, said the union's campaign is not about organizing Rain City's workers. "We are not asking Rain City to enter into bargaining with us," he said. "We are asking Mr. Cohen to hire contractors that pay a living wage, a family wage, and support worker safety."
State investigation
The YouTube video triggered months of investigation by the state Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) into Rain City's work-site practices.
At least one of the men on the video said he felt burning in this throat the first day he entered the site. Studies have linked prolonged exposure to arsenic with cancer, diabetes, liver disease and digestive-system problems.
While L&I said its investigation found no symptoms among workers consistent with the potential hazards at the site, it fined Rain City $35,000 for not giving the workers safety training or informing them about potential exposure to contaminants.
And although the government doesn't require medical surveillance of workers at the site, Rain City had some of them tested anyway but was fined $1,200 by L&I for not providing test results in a timely manner to the workers who asked for them.
Spokeswoman Elaine Fischer said the agency's investigation was launched after the carpenters union submitted allegations that were illustrated in the video.
"What was presented to us in this video is what we went there to investigate," she said. "Our investigation found what the workers claimed in the video."
She called the video a "novel approach," adding, "I don't know of any other instances where that has been done."
The carpenters union also made allegations against Rain City with the National Labor Relations Board, saying the contractor had demoted and later fired at least one of the workers who appeared in the video.
It also accused the company of interrogating and threatening workers who were involved in union activities on the job site.
The labor board found merit to the union's charges and set a hearing for March 23.
Richard Ahearn, the labor board's regional director, said, "This is the first such case where activity that has given rise to discrimination arose from an Internet video."
Urban village
Point Ruston straddles the city of Tacoma and the town of Ruston, and bills itself as one of the last waterfront properties of its size and beauty in the region.
When completed around 2018, the development is expected to feature nearly 1,000 waterfront condominiums and townhouses, 36 single-family homes and 120,000 square feet of retail space, a four-star waterfront hotel and office and commercial space.
The first phase of condominiums was completed in the fall, and the single-family home sites opened last week.
On the video, the workers said they used their own tools and that their employer did not give them masks to prevent breathing in dust or instructions written in Spanish about how to protect themselves.
"We are Latinos," one said. "All the Rain City workers are Latinos. I've never seen any Americans."
Their immigration status is unknown.

Challenging course. Good use of elevation. Good lines and multiple shots are required to score well. Good use of available land and added features (mandos, hole angles, elevated basket) are a plus. Would be a five rating if there were 18 holes.

Surprised to see this thread near the top again - thanks all! jensyen - I use mostly perennial groundcovers, such as any form of sedum, hen & chicks, creeping speedwell, English daisy, pincushion flower, heron's bill, thyme, Irish moss, perennial allysum, miniature yarrow, etc. Anything you find in the groundcover section of a greenhouse is going to be very hardy and handles drought very well. As far as soil, this year I went to a landscape store and got a scoop of top soil in the back of the truck (12.00), and with a shovel, mixed in several bags of Miracle Gro potting soil along with regular cheap potting soil. Next year I will also add peat moss or something because it was pretty heavy dirt. (things grew well in spite of it) Usually I just mix 1 bag of plain cheap potting soil with about 1/3 of a large bag of Miracle Gro soil in my wheelbarrow. You don't want your ground too rich because things will overgrow your container soon enough, without the addition of much fertilizer. I still have 3 gardens left from my spring show - they've been sitting in my flower bed all summer, very neglected. They are looking wonderful and I will have to trim things up real soon to keep them under control. That's the beauty of using these kind of plants, not much care involved. They also winter over just sitting out in the flower bed. Make sure you have holes drilled in the bottom of your container though. |
Red Majestic and Rose Mallow near Black Walnut?
posted by: cadillactaste on 08.28.2012 at 09:07 am in Plants for Difficult Places Forum After several years of unsuccessful attempts at growing a raised flower bed in the shade...I had a nursery last year ask me,"What tree are you planting under or near." then the lady gave me a list from Ohio State explaining what can and hasn't worked near Black Walnut trees.
Thing is...I am curious about these two listed in my post title. Which are the Red Majestic and the Rose Mallow. Neither are listed in either group that was given to me. Was curious...I realize both are to be placed in the sun so they will be further from the black walnut. But within the 50 foot drip line. In my minds eye...with the Rose Mallow being a hibiscus as is the Rose of Sharon which does do well near or under a Black Walnut. I am thinking maybe I might have success with it someplace in my yard... But would rather see if any others have had success and if so how far from the trunk of the BW was it planted? I've spent so much $$$ to only lose the plants in the past. That I would rather not play a guessing game of roulette with hit and miss guessing on my part. The Red MaJestic if planted I want to get a mature plant...so before taking on the expense...I wanted to see other's success in doing what I would want to do. So also if anyone has had success within the 50 foot drip line if they could also share how close to the tree roughly it was planted I would appreciate it. NOTES: <none>

Ryusen: link to pruning tips...as well as photo of my Ryusen
posted by: cadillactaste on 08.28.2012 at 12:12 pm in Maples Forum I picked this up after a debate of not wishing to lose a weeping pine. [Not sure of specific name] Due to having a Black Walnut in the yard. With the Japanese Maple on the list of things you can plant...I fell in love with the noticeable curves of the branches as they drape to the ground. They had straighter ones there that you didn't notice as much character to the trunk...with the curves. Not sure if there is a right way or wrong way to stake these. But never the less this one really caught my eye. And I claimed it...It's 3 foot tall...and I may watch to see if I can add more height to it later with staking...spoke to "my nursery" on more in depth instructions. For I grabbed this one at a nursery that I don't typically frequent that is further from my home but was having a sale that I noticed as I drove by. And the person who helped me was not very knowledgeable with this particular tree.
Did some searching...read that Miracle Grow will kill this tree. And found some good tips on thinning/pruning as well. Though my husband is concerned with thinning to much after just planting it. So we'll wait a bit on that. Actually now that we've waited a bit...not sure if I need to thin the bottom...Still pondering. I was advised to pull branch I contemplate taking off out of the way to see if I like the desired look "before" pruning... Good tip I though. LINK TO PROPERLY PRUNING: I found this interesting...because it gives two ways to prune for separate looks.

Being the kind of person who dwells on semantics, a band like Thränenkind bothers me even before I've heard a note of their music. Described as 'post-metal', the label leaves me scratching my head. Metal is still alive and flourishing, and it shows no signs of going anywhere, so what does post-metal even mean? In the other arts, post-modernism had a point; it was a deliberate realignment of what art was supposed to be, taking it back from the modernist school, which was both unified and generational. Metal is not like the other arts, however.
Our friends at wikipedia define thrash metal this way; "Thrash metal generally features fast tempos, low-register, complex guitar riffs, high-register guitar solos and double bass drumming. Vocally, thrash metal can employ anything from melodic singing to shouted vocals. Most thrash guitar solos are played at high speed, as they are usually characterized by shredding". I'd like to add another entry - See: "Fueled By Fire".
In the spirit of honesty, I have a confession I must make; there has never been a black metal album I have enjoyed. While I can understand the mental state that leads to its creation, and the ethos is not philosophically unappealing, the actual music that falls under the banner has the same effect on me as fingernails streaking across a chalkboard (a sound that, ironically, does not bother me). I have tried listening to modern black metal, the 'classics', and random recommendations I've picked up in various places, but the end result is always the same.
James LaBrie's last solo album, "Static Impulse", answered a question I'm not sure had ever been asked: what would it sound like if LaBrie fronted Soilwork? Far from his progressive metal roots, "Static Impulse" was a modern metal album in every facet, blending melodic choruses to state of the art riffing and juxtaposed screaming vocals. More than a shock to expectations, the album was a surprisingly effective vehicle for LaBrie, and was better than I could have ever imagined such an effort being.
It's the simple pleasures that help make life worthwhile. For me, there's the anticipation of listening to a new CD and the impossible wait just before the opening track starts playing. Generally, with my hand on the volume knob, I turn it up for maximum effect. When the first few notes begin there are three possible reactions - "Ooh, that's not very good. Let's try track two", "Eh, that's kind of what I expected" or "Hell yeah!".
Metal is not known for its beauty. It can be many things, beautiful included, but if there is one thing metal is known for, it's stringy-haired heaviness. Metal is not the music of the beautiful people, and we wouldn't love it so much if it was. But somewhere in calculations, the balance needed to keep metal from falling off the edge of relevance gets lost. Hearing as many albums a year as I do, which is still but a fraction, there is a titanic chasm of possibility few bands have jumped headlong into.
Falling in Reverse potentially confirms the small epiphany I had while watching Motionless in White live at Mayhem Fest. Scary though it may seem, perhaps this is a glimpse of one possible future of heavy metal. And I hear the rage boiling at me already, that these bands don't meet the arbitrarily established criteria of metal. Yet, I can't ignore the fact that this wave isn't going away, now in its fourth year (at least.) The make-up and costumes and big hair seem to be back in some form, and the kids just love it. In the end, aren't they the ones who will define metal going forward?
Life experience, viewed through a sort of existentialist paradigm, is an extremely persistent animal. There are certain lessons that life seems bound and determined to teach us, no matter how many times we attempt to ignore the moral. Foremost among those teachings and concurrently the one that is seemingly reinforced most often in our lives is "don't judge a book by its cover." It's a little shameful to admit, but I've spent thirty years on this earth and occasionally still have slips in my understanding of this basic tenet.
Why are some musicians vagabonds, jumping from project to project in a constant state of motion? There's a cynical answer about the undying desire to find the band that will break through and bring fame and fortune, but for most it has to do with a need to make music. For a certain group of musicians, music is an addiction, something they have to constantly be involved with or else they go crazy. It's hard to separate these honestly passionate creators from the more shrewd businessmen, but every so often the answer becomes clear.
The role and mindset of a journalist is different depending on who you ask. The traditional definition maintains that journalists are supposed to be objective, meaning they should write without the perception of bias. Doing so, however, is incompatible with human nature, not to mention being just about impossible to pull off. Rather, the definition that is coming more into popularity is one where objectivity means understanding your own bias, and writing with that knowledge in mind, so that readers can understand where you are coming from.

I am 40 years old today.
A year ago, I planned to give myself the opportunity to completely freak out about this day. A year ago, when Robb was out of a job and I was working 16 hours a day to do craft shows to keep us afloat. But that freak-out hardly seems necessary. I expected to feel like a door was closing behind me at 40, with things that I still wanted to do stuck back there. But with the arrival of the new year, Robb's new job, my red hair and a positive pregnancy test, it seemed that any illusion of my age limiting me completely evaporated.
And I can say pretty confidently that I didn't waste any of my 30s, so no regrets there.
I book-ended the decade with babies. I suppose it would have been easier on my body to have had the biological baby at the beginning of the decade and adopted at the end, but truly, this was the right path overall. When I think of how much I learned and changed because of Charleigh, how much social awareness she brought to my life, I am so thankful.
In between, those bookends, we started a church. Which has a similar rate of success with starting a restaurant. Only it brings in the little element of your soul and spirit and theology...so you know...no big thing.
We travelled to places I'd never been: To Arkansas. Florida. Canada. San Francisco. I love traveling and each of the places we went was a gift that can never be taken away from me.
I always loved old things. I always bought old things. But it was in my 30s that I found my groove as a redeemer of old things. Those simple tile nippers that Robb got me for Mother's Day one year turned into a hobby and then a passion and then a business. I know now that as a creative, there are no limits and so I can bring my work to the forefront when I need to and even better, I can push it backward in line of priority and focus on more pressing things...like people.
In this past 10 years, I have finally learned how to be with people. I learned how to really love my husband and my kids. I didn't really know how to do that before. Sure I had warm feelings toward them and cared for them. But I had never learned how to dig deep, acknowledge who they really are and who I really am and accept both those things, no matter how it looked. And that's also how friendship became so much more. I didn't know how to be a friend in my teens and 20s. I was too self conscious and too independent. I didn't know how great it was to just be myself and enjoy other people being themselves, no matter how different they are from me. I'm better at asking for help and I'm also better at taking care of myself. Not in a selfish "me-first" kind of way, but in the healthy "I want to have something to offer my family and my friends, so I'm going to take care of my body and soul" kind of way. I'll never be perfect at any of those things, but I am not nearly as interested in being perfect anymore.
All that to say, I rocked my 30s. I'm proud of that decade. And now I'm looking forward: in the next ten years, I want to do a good job of loving people...the people I live with, the people I live near, and the people that live far away. I want to be as healthy as I can be. I want to be creative more than busy. I want to be generous more than guarded. And I want to have fun more than scheduled. I want to run more 5k's, keep working on myself in therapy, overcome my fear of empty canvases, and generally do things that make the world a better place. At the end of this decade, I have ten year old. At the end of the next decade I will also have a ten year old. That much will be the same. I wonder what will be different?

"What's life without Whimsy?"
Even though around week 40.5 of my pregnancy, I began to doubt her actual existence, our little girl did finally arrive on Saturday, September 20, 2014 at 6:03 in the morning. And then it was finally time to share her name with everyone...from the Grandmas to the waitress at Grubbs...who has been wondering what W stood for.
Months ago, when we found out we were having a girl, we began the arduous task of trying to find a name. When your other kids are big, though, they have interacted with a lot more people than the typical family of little kids, and therefore, have many more opinions. Throw in
-an enormous extended family that so far, has only a small amount of overlap in monikers,
-at least three past churches of perfectly good hipster names that are back in style (c'mon...old lady names are adorable!)
-and then just basic preferences
and let me tell you, we had searched every website, and read every page of our old stand-by baby-name book that had been good enough to name an entire generation of my siblings and cousins, and then some.
So when Robb announced rather boldly that he had it, I was dubious. I should have remembered how confident I was when I stumbled across "Charleigh" a decade ago. When it fits, it just fits. I was a bit skeptical, but I was comfortable enough to roll it around a bit. Charleigh liked it immediately. Vin paused, thought about it and then decided he was all in. Mattie mulled it over night, and pronounced her support in the morning. I was afraid it was too old lady at first. One night, Robb - who is terribly prone to talk in his sleep - cautioned me while I attempted to roll my big bell over in bed..."Please don't squish my Whimsy-baby." Hearing his protective concern, especially in his sleep, made me realize how real she was to him already. I realized in that drowsy moment that Whimsy was her name, no matter what.
Frankly, is there any better way to tell everyone how we feel about this little post-script? She's no accident. No frustrating back-track down a missed turn. She's a scenic little drive down a pretty little side road that most people choose to avoid because it's not the most direct route. We are just soaking in the joy of the journey.
And for her middle name, we rolled around some other options, but it was important that she have a family name, like the other kids have. As the months passed by, certain events stood out as important moments in the bigger story of our lives and her middle name became an obvious choice. And so we named her Whimsy Catherine after
- Robb's sister Cathy who came with Megan for the baby shower back in July. September 15th marked 5 years since her husband Kevin left us all missing him and his giant, kid-loving heart. If our Whimsy has half the wit, strength, brilliance or hilarity of her Aunt Cathy, she will be a sparkly human indeed.
- Our friends Sara and Carl's precious baby Katherine, born sleeping just a few weeks before our daughter. She is always in our hearts. I still don't have words to express much else about this.
- My dear Aunt Cathy, my mother's sister. Just weeks before Whimsy was born, her youngest daughter, just 25 years old, passed away from a vicious cancer. Tessa was the youngest of the cousins and was quite simply the sweetest human being any of us will ever know. She was like a warm, simple candle that welcomed you wherever you were coming from. It broke my heart to think of her loss as she was one of the babies who bounced on my hip at family gatherings like Aunt Cathy bounced me on hers. This lovely ribbon of care has been cut and I ache for my aunt, the whole family and for myself.
- My dear, dear, dear friend, Kathy Freeman. It's not enough to say that she was present at Whimsy's birth. She's been tangled up in the life of the Ryerse family for 8 years now and when Robb asked me what role I wanted her to play, I said, "I want Kathy to be the hostess of our birth." And that is what she did. She arrived in the room with only the energy she has at 5:30 am, and started applying hot, wet towels to my labor-weary back. She cheered me on when I was sure I couldn't go on without pain medicine and she gave me the empowerment I needed to go ahead and push before anyone else realized how ready I was. And then, when Whimsy arrived, she did her amazing actual job of being a lactation consultant, which is to help babies and mamas learn to nurse. Women all over this town take one look at Kathy and say, "You! You were the one that helped me!" To top it all off, she then went to pick up my other kids, and came back with coffee, breakfast, and a bowl of beautiful fruit. If you don't have a Kathy in your life, you need one. Immediately.
These are the stories of her names. She represents so many things. Her smiles and her tears express our joy and our grief and our very lives. Truly, what's life without Whimsy Catherine?

Master Closet turned Tiny Nursery
Our master closet has been anything but a master closet since we moved in almost 5 years ago. It has held Robb's books and tried to be an office. Then it held all my dishes and tried to be a studio. Then it became the perfect hiding spot to hold all the vintage items in my Etsy shop, The Classic Butterfly. Finally, it has become a tiny space to hold our new tiny human. Situated just off our master bathroom and across the hall from the laundry room, I am happy to have her little room close by and not banished to the upstairs where the three bigs battle for the conch and sole posession of the bathroom.
I love how much love and care has gone into making her room ready, not just from us, but from our dear friends, family and community. From the hard labor of cutting the door to the soft sweet things for her to wear, she already has a little village of people who love her.

(page 2 of 6)
As we check the target, Lieutenant B gets a call on his secure phone about a border incident, and we rush to pack everything into our armored vehicle and speed over. We were missing a small tool necessary to finish the process of zeroing the scopes at the range, and are forced to do so later back at base. I am nervous, as always, that my M24 isn't perfectly zeroed. Being a sniper makes you a perfectionist. Success is so black and white, hit or miss, and the difference is so delicate. A bump to the scope or the whisper of a breath while shooting could change everything.
That evening, I feel an urge to pray. I borrow a siddur, and lock myself in a bathroom stall (the only private place around). The prayers aren't too important but the act feels very necessary.
I think about how the Shamen is going to bed, not realizing a whole group of us are planning to shoot him the next day. I try to remember that he wants to hurt us. He would harm little girls walking in the street. He would probably kill my little sister or brother. It's still hard for me to accept that he deserves to lose his foot.
As usual, anticipation is what causes the nerves. When we parachuted in the army, the jump itself was a matter of a minute and a half, but the hours of waiting, hoping your parachute wasn't going to be faulty, were what made it so scary. I get the sense that I am more bothered by the thought of shooting someone than the others, but who knows?
We wake up at 5 a.m. The battalion commander wants us to practice looking at a person's leg through our scopes from 400 meters, so we stop on the way and wait for light. After a few minutes, the snipers and spotter get out, and we set up the guns to look at the driver and lieutenant standing some 500 meters away. We discuss coordinating which leg we will shoot at, to make sure we're all on the same leg.
We get back in the vehicle, and the lieutenant gets a call from the lookout girls. Code name "Barry," an accomplice of the Shamen, is at the border. There's a cheer in the vehicle, and we roll towards Gaza.
The four of us gear up, and walk north. A few times, we stop and the spotter and lieutenant go up on the berm that shields us from Gaza to scout. Suddenly, we hear gunshots, and my first thought is that some other sniper from a different unit has beaten us to it. An ear by his radio, the lieutenant tells us it was actually warning shots fired by the regular battalion on patrol, and we curse them for ruining everything. However, our battalion commander says it's good that they shot, because now if Barry comes back, we have permission to shoot according to our strict rules of engagement. Turns out, Barry isn't too worried about his safety, because he comes right back.
The sniper team reaches one spot where we get the guns up and on the target, but he's walking away from us at 500 meters. Our lieutenant doesn't chance the shot. The lookout girls tell us on the secure phone that Barry is on the move north again, and the lieutenant takes us north and decides to cross the berm and advance up to the fence itself. Trudging along the path, my M4 slung on the left side of my body, M24 sniper rifle on my right shoulder, I think that I should write all this down — the feelings of a sniper before a mission.

If you are ever near Spartanburg, South Carolina, and you happen to be a hosta freak, look for Chuck Plemmons Perenials (www.hostaman.com). I was there visiting relatives and we paid him a visit. He has some hard to find hostas, hundreds to choose from, and they were in great shape. Here in the Birmingham area, most hostas at nurseries don't look so good this time of year. His looked like they had been cared for. I got H. Robert Frost (at left in photo below) and H. Stained Glass. |

Oh Jeff love that stained glass. Jill |
I have ordered from him before and expecting my new order to arrive next week- excellent roots, great to deal with person and prices are very reasonable. |
finally got my order today. As usual hostas are just great, out of 13 hostas only one was one eyed, many were so multi eyed and long rooted that I could have split it in four and still plant out nicely. Stilletto for a freebie... Wanted to take pics but am warring with my hubby for the camera. Bad part- garden is chock full ;( |

EG2's play well with glasses!
Amazing goggles even if you wear glasses! Well assuming you are not rocking coke bottle lenses in full size frames.... I wear them with glasses and with contacts and they have never let me down! Durable as hell, never fog, easy lens swap, and a field of vision the kills other goggles! The only potential con is that if you wear a helmet you will want to check and see if they place nice together. They barely rub on my Bern Hard Hat but a slight adjustment fixed that. Those who are looks conscious may not like the large size, I could give a shit about looks as I am a function guy... Regardless these goggles have it where it counts...

Several months ago, my dear niece Kaylin was feeling overwhelmed with a lot of school assignments, tests, essays, papers, and book reports. I sent her the following which she said greatly helped her and others that she shared it with. If school work (or tasks at work) frustrate you, I hope the following tips will give you help. These principles are useful at work, managing a home, and even Bible study.
(Hat tip to David Allen and Getting Things Done book for teaching me many of these lessons)
Fighting Distractions
Other tips and observations:
- Don't work to perfection–especially at first. For example, if you have a writing assignment, just get the ideas on paper as they flow and go back and correct grammar, and reword things later. This is important for two reasons. First, if something bad happens that leaves you with little time you still have something to turn in instead of no assignment. Two, it relieves the stress when you have a lot of assignments, knowing you have something to turn in and can return to the assignment later, if you have time, to improve the work quality.
- "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough." Don't spend so much time on formatting, appearance, etc. that you have little time to do other assignments. Do the best you can and when (if) you have time, go back and make it prettier, more profound, etc.
- Be careful with sugary foods and energy drinks as they can give you a quick high but you will feel more tired (and hungry) when you quickly crash. Drink lots of water and snack on nuts, fruits, and other foods that will give you sustained energy.
- Pray to God for strength and thank Him for the opportunity to be in school and ask for His help since you want to use your education to His glory.
- For lengthy reading assignments, learn to scan well and note important parts. Most of books are fillers with nuggets of info. Some speed reading techniques will help you harvest the important information without being caught up in unnecessary info.
- For test prep: Try to make as many mental images to help you remember lists and associate terms and ideas. The more outrageous the image the better. Have a buddy quiz you and quiz them. Learn memory techniques.

The Animal Humane Society last week removed 55 horses, ponies and donkeys from a Fillmore County property. The animals had untreated wounds, severe emaciation and other health problems.
Investigators also found numerous carcasses in various states of decomposition.
A dozen horses considered to be in the most serious condition were sent to the University of Minnesota for examination. By Friday morning, four of the animals had to be euthanized. The Fillmore County attorney will determine whether charges will be filed.
"This was one of the largest and more complex operations involving horses I've seen, requiring a major effort to remove and relocate the animals," said Keith Streff, senior agent for the Humane Society.
The Humane Society had no previous calls about the property, said Jeff Moravec, director of communications. The society is trying to determine why the animals were neglected, but Moravec said the owner agreed to turn over all of them.
The horses not taken to the university were being kept temporarily at the Fillmore County Fairgrounds in Preston and eventually may be placed with new owners.

Provocateur and National Treasure John Waters to Visit
To experience a John Waters movie is to experience the carnivalesque. No other filmmaker can make his audience laugh till their eyes water, cringe in their seats, and potentially throw up -- all in the same moment. To watch one of his films is to experience a delicious delirium that makes you realize that he has turned your world and expectations topsy-turvy.
Dennis Lim, the Film Society's Director of Programming at the Lincoln Center, says it best when he observes that John Waters is "a lifelong provocateur and by now a national treasure. John Waters is a singular, even prophetic figure within not only American cinema but also the broader landscape of American popular culture. From his early underground sensations to his subversive work within the mainstream, no filmmaker has done as much to blur and challenge the distinctions between high and low culture, and between good and bad taste."
We are excited to welcome John Waters to our campus. This student-inspired event was made possible by generous support from the University Lecture Series, numerous university entities, and private donations.
Tickets will be free and available from the UM Box Office by mid February.

Update Log
01/19 - Another Kind of Game-Breaking Kitty
Putting the final bow on 2014 with The Year in Review. I tried to get that done sooner, but Binding of Isaac: Rebirth kept getting in the way. I know, I'm as surprised as you.
01/07 - Make My Day
And now the December Quickies. Bit of an underwhelming month, actually. Though I did that Elgato for Christmas, and updated the Mass Effect screenshot in November as I said I would. Eventually I'd like to update the screenshot for NIER in November 2012, though I'd hate to lose the actual action in that screen.
12/22 - Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In
I finally got the November Quickies out. Now I've got one last thing to get done before Christmas...
And while we're on the subject, I'm starting to think somebody is deliberately saying stupid shit in hopes of getting another turn with the verbal Cat O' Nine Tails. Talk about getting what you paid for, mate. And before anyone accuses me of stalking or something, somebody sent that gem to me on Twitter.
12/12 - An End of Semester Treat
Second Cracked article in the pipeline: The 6 Biggest Dick Moves in the History of Video Game Design. And sweet, most of what I wrote actually made it past editorial this time! Rather than me telling you which three I wrote, I thought I'd see if people on Twitter can figure it out (one of them should be pretty obvious even if you're not a regular reader)
Because of finals I don't have any new content, only a sexy new Update Log brought to you by iframes. Hard to imagine that I've been updating this place for almost ten years now.
UPDATE UPDATE 12/13: JunkyBiggs on Twitter wins. I wrote Shadow of the Beast, Fable 3, and Dirty Harry/Phantasy Star.
11/27 - Turkey Day
Four quickies for October 2014! Also, all of Review Quickies has been updated to the new format, and everything back to 2011 has been added to the index.
Man, some of the 2011 quickies are pretty dodgy, and a handful of them looked like I never bothered to proofread them (i.e. Pluto in May 2011, which I did go back and fix). And then I hit the "Terrible Old Format" ones. You have no idea how tempting it was for me to wipe them; as well as some really questionable scores (I only rated Okami a "decent"???) the writing on those things is uninformative and just godawful all round. I only left them so that I could have something to point myself to and think "I could be doing worse!"
And with that, I'm going to go celebrate Thanksgiving the proper way: with a Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathon.
11/19 - There's Plenty More Gratuitous Swearing Where That Came From!
It's my fifth (or third-and-second-half?) Cracked article: The 5 Most Unreasonably Difficult Video Game Puzzles Ever. I wrote Shadow of the Beast II and Professor Layton, though I also had entries for evolving Inkay into Malamar in Pokemon X and Y and the Nero family in Final Fantasy IX that got cut, I guess for being optional (C.K. Bond also wrote about the Black Monolith in FEZ). Also, my entries for Layton and Beast 2 appear to have been completely rewritten? Which is a little disheartening because I haven't had that happen since the Chrono Trigger entry in my very first article, and a shame because I was really attached to my joke about abusing Beast II's "ask" feature to swear at the snail when he cockblocked your quest.
In a previous update, I mentioned this article getting a setback. There was originally a fifth writer, the Brandon Drake guy I thanked in the byline. He pitched Castlevania II and I offered him Final Fantasy IX both because he pitched the bit about the sword (after I pitched the Nero family itself) and because he helped me redirect this article from something that didn't work, but when the article was finally accepted, he just... disappeared. The article was turned in a week late after I took FF9 back and C.K. Bond took Castlevania II.
So months ago I thought I'd finally dive into the Sega-16 topic featured in Odds and Ends Vol. 3 to celebrate another publication on Cracked. But it took so long for this article to get accepted and published that I eventually lost interest, especially when I doubt such a MOREC would be much more than me laughing Jim Sterling style at a man who would have an existential crisis if he ever found out Phantasy Star IV wasn't the first RPG to have combo magic.
Instead, I've converted the 2013 quickies to the new style and added them to the index. I also got a little happy with the index and included the quickies from October 2014 which I haven't actually finished writing, so I've removed those links. Also enjoy this collection of stuff I've written since my last Cracked article:
Review Quickies - Since my last article was published in September 2013, there's a year's worth of new stuff here.
Pier Solar - Let me say it one more time: Fuck this game.
Monkey Island Oddities - Yeah, when somethings sticks out as weird in a Monkey Island game, you know it's pretty screwed up.
I Am a Horrible Person and Sega-16 is Hilarious - Here's what happens when I'm still bitter about paying nearly $60 for a game that made me want to rip my own teeth out, and I need an April Fool's special and some filler while I get a major project done.
The Merged Hulk - If you're a regular Cracked reader, you might remember when this was called The #4 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Superhero Reinvention. I disagree.
11/18 - Calm Before The Winter Storm
The new design has been applied to the Game Music and File Cabinet main pages, and all of MOREC. The Review Quickies main page and all the 2014 quickies have also been updated to the new style. A while back site reader Spencer suggested an index for the quickies which I've finally implemented, but it currently only has the 2014 items on it. I'll add to it as I revamp the quickies from previous years.
Also, I'd like to shout out to reader Allan for pointing out I had confused Anthony Hopkins with Bob Hoskins in a couple quickies.
11/14 - Cheez Waffies
I'm still toying around with the layout of the main page. A little while back I changed the header and rearranged stuff to make the top of the page smaller and less cluttered. Then I changed it again to the current version with the Lemmings background. And this image may itself just be a placeholder until I can plan, draw, and possibly digitally paint a mural I have in mind. Again, if anybody has any feedback to offer, email or tweet me, or post at my forum.
Daniel X is Terrible, Blaster Master Overdrive, Ten Things I Like About Blaster Master 2, and Blasting Again Stupidity have been updated to this new format. While I was cleaning up the header it occured to me that I really needed to tweak the Q&A page into a general About/Contact page.
(And if anyone's wondering what's with the header of this update, check my Twitter feed)
UPDATE UPDATE: Holy fuckup, Batman! When I was trying to upload the re-reformatted Pier Solar review, I somehow uploaded it into the main File Cabinet directory. That's been fixed. Such are the joys of having to update the site at 2:30 in the morning because of bandwidth restrictions.
So it's Halloween, a time for monsters and all, so here's the second chapter of the Merged Hulk. I'm going to confess right now that this was harder to write than the first chapter because I'm not quite as passionate about these issues.
Also, since people seemed to prefer the white plate style for the articles, I've applied that to both chapters. I also slightly edited it so the border doesn't "pop" and just has a solid gray border.
10/20 - You Call It Padding, I Call It Buffing
I've revamped the Review Quickies main page to the new style, and am using the first page of the Merged Hulk article and my Pier Solar review as guinea pigs for potential styles for full articles: the former uses a border of blue granite, while the latter uses a solid white plate style. If anyone wants to give me feedback on which one looks better, email or Tweet me, or post at my forum.
And carlmarksguy gets the whole bag of gold stars for catching the reference in the previous update's header.
10/13 - Oh Cripes, Polish-Polish-Polish
I darkend the blue granite texture to hopefully make the text in the updates column easier to read. If it's still a problem, I'll have to work something else out.
I've also revamped the File Cabinet, MOREC, and Game Music pages to the new format. Now to get back to work on the next Merged Hulk chapter; I have all the scans I think I'll need and maybe 40% of the words, I just need to get the rest of the text written, edited, and re-edited.
10/07 - Getting Stoned
Oh hey, did I mention I'm taking a class in web design? Hopefully this is what people have meant by making my site look less 90's-ish. For now only the main page has been revamped, and I'll probably continue to tweak it as I get new toys to play with, then when I get a style I'm happy with I'll start modifying other pages. This might also be the equipment I need to revamp the Bestiary.
Oh, and the Networking class is starting to sink in.
August and September quickies, fresh off the grill. And since I'm finished (for the moment) with a couple projects that'll turn up soon enough, I hope to get some work done around here.
Oh, and I'm well aware of what recently hit Steam. Though to be honest, I'm sort of impressed that they're "only" charging $15 for it. I still think that's an outrageous price for that game, especially when Cthulhu Saves the World costs $3, comes bundled with another (albeit incredibly mediocre) game, and goes down to as little as a buck during the Steam sales, but I didn't see them letting their precious go for less than $30.
9/23 - Tippy-Typey
Now that I'm over my bug, I redrew the File Cabinet image for the Table of Contents. Unfortunately, in between school and an external project that got hit with a major setback (I'm not sure I can disclose the details yet, but I'll tell you what happened when the time comes), that's all I got around to doing. I guess I'll have the August and September quickies next time.
9/07 - Does This Mean the Weather's Finally Cooling Down?
Nothing major today, just continuing down the list of "Things I Really Should Have Done Ages Ago". First up, I've altered the layout of the main page so the table of contents is side-by-side with the update log, and resized the link images slightly. Second, I finally fixed the tables in the Bestiary. I also meant to redraw the image for the File Cabinet because it looks wonky to me, but I was nailed by allergies yesterday and spent the whole day groggy as fuck, so I just touched up CK's pupils a bit to make it a little less crap for now. I'll get to completely redoing it later.
By the way, I've gotten a couple emails saying my site would be better if it looked prettier, or that it looks "90s-ish"... but they don't elaborate on what they mean. I'll admit my site doesn't have any Java bells and whistles, but if you think something could be improved, you need to tell me more than "it could be improved." What could be improved? The format? The colors? The font? What?
9/02 - Five Miles if You Love Lemmings
The Genesis music for the original Lemmings has been reripped and four songs have been added, those being Ending, Intro, Menace, and Ufouria. I think I recorded the older versions of the songs by plugging my physical Genesis into my computer, but this time around I just dumped the .VGM files from WinAmp. Some time in the future I might rerecord them from the system and post both versions, because the WinAmp dumps are a little... sharp, I guess is the word I'm looking for?
By the way, I was asked what happened to the Lemmings DDR song. Well, I wasn't sure where to put it, so I just removed it for the time being. I'll probably add it to the Lemmings 2 listing when I get around to that.
I've also made a slight change to my April Fool's 2014 MOREC, since GOG.com had to delist Painkiller.
8/21 - No, I Still Haven't Forgiven This Game's Ending
Over in Game Music there's a new listing for NIER. I've said before that I think this game's soundtrack is a bit overrated, but what the hell, it's decent enough and I needed a break from Lemmings music.
And another shoutout to Whitney for pointing out I had two songs with the same description and left a sentence unfinished over in the Lemmings music.
UPDATE UPDATE: Oh, well, I just received a newsletter from WaterMelon announcing their intentions to make an action RPG for the Dreamcast. You mean these guys still haven't taken me off their mailing list after this?
8/13 - Super Chevon Boy
Two things, today. For the hors d'oeuvres, the rest of the 3D Lemmings soundtrack has been posted over in the Lemmings Music, and the Win95 music has been reinstated.
For the main course we have the July quickies. So much for going back to doing those every other month.

Gear Review
Luke Tucci
I don't know about this years missons, but i had the 07/08, and they suck shit... If your some one like me who rides 60+ days a year, don't buy these bindings. Both my toe straps snapped in half, and had to be replaced. The bolts on these bindings would always get loose (not like this doesn't happen to every binding) but this happened constantly, you don't know how many bolts i went through that had been stripped and replaced. My good friends, knowing that i had shitty bindings, recommended to me union bindings. So I bought a pair of forces half off of $200 and have never had a problem since. If i were you i would recommend buying from a company that specializes in bindings, like union does.

This item is butts. If you take health at the stat valuation of Giant's Belt (which is 2.5 gold for 1 point of health), you're paying 330 gold for the passive. And the passive will almost certainly never save your life, since it is only 40 hp per second, and part of it will almost certainly be wasted since kills likely aren't going to be 5 seconds apart. Compare this to Warmog's, where you only pay 150 gold for the passive which also actually does something.
They already know and it is probably going to be replaced with warmog's
except if you actually read the riot posts on other threads they're already gonna substitute this item for warmog's in a future patch now that warmogs has been changed. please do your research before posting

Not coming next patch, but... Warmog's is coming. Overlord's Bloodmail is being remade. Lord Van Damm's Pillager is being remade. Wicked Hatchet is being remade. There's a few Dominion items that are going to be remade as well, and may make it over.
Can the new recipe involve 2 Ruby Crystals? Its one of the 3 cheap basic tier items that you can't simply 2 of and make an item. The other 2 being Null-magic mantle(though one could argue for Runic Bulwark) and Sapphire Crystal.
I love Overlord + visage on the Bear. Go all in under a tower. Execute proceed to proc Overlord, your passive and a red pot and walk away ready to gank a lane or take an alter.

I've followed this case from the beginning, and I'm still on the fence as to whether she did it or not. Apparently the Italian Court is on the fence too, considering this is the second time they've changed their mind about her. First she was convicted, then her conviction was overturned on appeal and now the Supreme Court has ordered a new trial. It's one thing to be on the fence as an outside observer, but you'd think the Court would make up its damn mind already. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Link

Apparently the Italian Court is on the fence too The case made its way through the appeals process. Original trial = conviction. Italy sent two sailors to India to be tried for the deaths of two fishermen. I doubt that the U.S. will send Ms. Knox to Italy for a new trial. |
She is never going back........... I have no idea if she is guilty or innocent. In some ways I hope she is guilty because no one who is innocent should have to live with this never ending nightmare. However if she is guilty.....a well deserved nightmare |
Also meant to add......why on this earth do we all know about Amanda Knox ??? So sad that we do............ |
- Posted by nancy_in_venice_ca SS24 z10 CA (My Page) on Tue, Mar 26, 13 at 17:07
why on this earth do we all know about Amanda Knox ??? From reading La Repubblica on-line. There was a period when you could not escape seeing daily headlines on caso Meredith. Just from the headlines you could glean the outlines of the crime and subsequent trial. |
I did not follow the case but saw snips here and there on CNN, courtTV. I am also not sure if she was guilty or not. But goodness I would think someone would have to have mental problems from the description of the murder. She had a "no emotion" expression through the trial. I think that was why they convicted her the first go round. It was also commented on from every commentary. I imagine I know about it because I watch so many news stations and read lots of magazines and when I am sitting in doctor's office I read a lot on my Kindle to kill time while I wait to transport my seniors. |
I somehow doubt she's going to rush back voluntarily for this new trial. I wonder if the Feds would extradite her. Can you imagine the news coverage if they did. Hauling her away in cuffs, waving the flag, tears streaming down her face, her sobbing parents as well waving the flag, and shaved head goons with sunglasses could hand her over to guys in Medieval Italian judicial uniforms. |
Not happening....... |
We didn't give up the CIA agents in the Abu Omar case, so I don't think we'll give up Amanda Knox. She will be tried in absentia. Someone knows who killed Meredith Kercher .....perhaps Amanda Knox |
I'm not familiar with Italian law, but if this crime took place in the U.S, I would think that Knox would be protected by double jeopardy, no? When her conviction was overturned, it's as good as an acquittal, and she couldn't be tried for the same crime again. I also don't think she'll get sent back. There's no doubt that the powers that be in the U.S. see the flaws in this case. |
Anyone else see any resemblence between Knox and Arias? Pretty much the same dead eyes. I saw the Knox story on TV with no sound, thought it was Arias. Weird. |
My daughter lived in and attended school at Perugia for five months, just like Amanda Knox, the year before the murders. She said the Italian police are not known for their investigative skills. What that means, I don't know Whether she actually participated in the murder or not, I think she knows way more than she has said. |
- Posted by woodnymph2 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 27, 13 at 14:53
I followed the case closely from the beginning, partly because I traveled so much in Italy and partly because I was once a young student in a foreign country. I have always thought she was innocent. My understanding was that the investigation was badly bungled. And I thought that she did show emotion in the courtroom. Also, I attributed the "dead" look to the shock of being in prison for so long and her numb feeling of deep fear. Yes, this would never happen in the US because of double jeopardy. |
Quick! Who is Rudy Guede? Didn't know, didja? That's okay. That's the way the mainstream media wanted it. Since this re-trial news broke, I haven't seen his name mentioned, or his photograph shown even ONCE in ANY news report. Heck, I'm the first one to bring up his name in this thread! So, who is Rudy Guede? Just the black African who actually DID rape and murder Meredith Kercher. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Meredith_Kercher But hey, the pretty white girl and her pretty white boyfriend are much more fun to photograph and talk about! Rudy Who? |
The article linked in the OP mentions Rudy Guede. The theory has always been that he didn't act alone. |
Great, then why did Amanda Knox tell so many different stories, why did she blame her boss at the bar, why was there dna evidence suggesting she took part in this murder. What did Rudy say? |
Oh brother! I just read the link that "mentioned Rudy Guede". They actually devoted an entire sentence to him! Out of numerous paragraphs and a huge photo of Amanda Knox! No mention of his "priors" and his penchant for throwing rocks through windows to facilitate burglary, threatening people with knives, stalking white women, and who-knows-what that didn't get on his record. All of this (plus some pretty revolting stuff) is on his Wikipedia page. |
"Anyone else see any resemblence between Knox and Arias? Pretty much the same dead eyes. I saw the Knox story on TV with no sound, thought it was Arias. Weird." Take a look at a random bunch of say, passport photos or mug shots. I'll bet you find a few with "dead eyes". |
I don't see the resemblance between Knox and Arias. Knox is pretty, Arias is not. What I know of this is what I've seen on 20/20. Elizabeth Vargas was quite involved in this story. I often thought if Knox weighed 250 pounds and was homely as a mud fence, where would be the story? I think she acted very inappropriately and knows way more than she's telling. They may try her in absentia but she won't go back to Italy is my guess. |

The DNA evidence was found to be flawed and the investigation was botched. |
